Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Odyssey of Homer: In English Verse The interval which has elapsed since the second edition of this work was exhausted has been so great that I seem to owe an apology to the public for the fact that, in spite of a steady demand for the book, it has long been out of print. I was reluctant to bring out a third edition without first subjecting the translation to a thorough revision, conscious as I was of the existence of many defects in a work, the first half at least of which was produced in a fire of enthusiasm, and, owing to intense concentration, at great speed. For that revision I have now found time: it has not been hurried; and it has been as thorough as I could make it. Though the alterations are very numerous, I have not removed any of the essential features of the work, which gave it what freshness and originality my readers found in it; but I have endeavoured to remove all traces of carelessness, and of undue licence in rhyme, and to bring the version closer to the original; and have given special attention to the technique of the rhythm, recasting all such lines as did not seem to "read themselves."
